congressman paul ryan put forth his latest budget proposal with a ban to balance the nation's books in a decade by scrapping the affordable care act. aka obama care. slashing medicaid and medicare. he has challenged president obama to put rth to his own proposal. but the president said that he has other priorities. >> my goal is not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance. my goal is how do we grow the economy, put people back to work. if we do that, we'll be bringing in more revenue. if we've controlled spending and we've got a smart titlement package, then potentially what you have is balance. but it is not ballot backs of the poor, the elderly, the students who need student loans, families who got disabled kids. >> what do you think? how important is a balanced budget in the near term? in the next decade when it comes to the health of the economy? you can weigh in on the "nightline" page. hope you check out gma. more of the president's interview in the morning. see you tomorrow.

paul ryan doesn't give the president any credit for the fact that we have literally lowered our deficit during president obama. our deficit is going down at faster rate -- probably too fast, and so they don't -- they about like that didn't even happen. >> bill: every time i hear him or jay carney at the white house talk about entitlement reform, i always get nervous. >> what is that? are you talking about social insurance? earned benefits? >> bill: exactly. they are not entightments. >> right. right. thank you for pointing that out, bill. we should erase that term from our vocabulary. we're talking about earned benefits, social insurance that people pay for so when they need it they are not going to be destitute. so we should stop using the word entitlement, and start correcting people when they do it. >> bill: have you seen any minnesota any adverse effects of the sequester. >> yeah, people are already beginning to report the need to scale back, to start talking about -- you know, who is going to be laid off. we're clearly beginning to see the effects of it. and what the republicans ar

you recall during the last presidential election, mitt romney and paul ryan both told us that there were trillions of dollars of tax breaks for very wealthy people, they proposed to eliminate them as part of tax reform where they reduced the rate. we say, let's take some of that revenue to help reduce the deficit, combined with other targeted cuts. >> be more specific for me. when you talk about tax loopholes and the very wealthy. which specific loopholes and what is very wealthy? >> sure, sure, these are, when you're in the highest tax bracket, you're in the 39% tax bracket when you get a deduction, whatever it may be for, you get 39 cents worth of deduction. whereas somebody who is in the 28% tax bracket only gets 28 cents deduction for that particular deduction. so what we're saying and this is similar to a proposal the president's put forward, is that for folks who are in that very high bracket, the 39% bracket, the value of your deductions will be limited to about 28% which is what the value of deductions is for a middle income taxpayer. >> so ultimately, the budget that you have th

yesterday, paul ryan presented a republican plan that he claims balances the budget in ten years. he challenged the white house to do the same, but the president is not biting. >> my goal is not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance. if we have controlled spending and we have a smart entitlement package, then potentially what you have is balance, but it's not balance on the backs of, you know, the poor, the elderly, students who need student loans, families who have got disabled kids. that's not the right way to balance our budget. >> ryan's budget also again called for a full repeal of president obama's health care reform. >>> so, a little honky tonk happiness for former president george h.w. bush. the 88-year-old made a cameo at the school of government and public service that bears his name at texas a&m university for what he thought would be a regular photo op. instead, he found a flash mob. ♪ >> this happened earlier this month, but the video just made its way to youtube. bush 41 was with former first lady barbara bush and granddaughter jenna bush hager, w

just one day after the house budget committee approved paul ryan's blueprint plan which would balance the budget in a decade. patty murray released a plan which would cut annual deficits, but leave the country with a $566 billion shortfall after ten years. this while that back and forth continues on another issue, the white house tours. who exactly is to blame? the president said during an interview, it wasn't up to him. and inconsistent response from that of its press secretary, jay carney. >> you know, i have to say, this was not a decision that went up to the white house, but what the secret service explained to us was that they're going to have to furlough some folks. >> we had to cancel the tours. it's our job to cancel the tours. they can not cancel them. so because this is not a tour of the secret service building. it's a tour of the white house and the grounds. we run the tours. >> raising eyebrows is the president's comments during an interview where he said the u.s. debt, which is inching closer and closer to 17 trillion, is, quote, not an immediate crisis. republican senato
